The problem of the devices that can be worn is that they often need a belt, or they are just additives such as plastic, metal and battery in a shoe or bracelet, or they are devices installed on the head such as glasses or slices implanted in the body.
A new company named "Tiles" is currently working on a new device that can actually wear and is a smart thread from which clothes are made."We are literally trying to sew the same type of highway for data flow (Wi -Fi, GPS) that can be found usually in a computer segment, but we do so in clothes.We got a patent.
Sun, a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, believes that it is possible to make smart clothing with electricity -connected inks, but it is a huge chemical process that includes a molten mineral and printing with a screen, while the threads are more essential and anyone can sew, and more durable than anything that is placed over the fabric.
It is interesting, in his opinion, because the smart thread constitutes visual patterns that may be interesting from the aesthetic survivor.
Its uses are now in sports technology.The company works with two athletes in the "main norm soccer league" and the "American Football League", where it merges the smart thread into the clothes and sports equipment that provides reports on movement, pressure, curvature, rotation, sprain and other activities to help athletes understand what succeeds and what should beTo aim at it.
The "Tiles Tiles" can be counted as the angle speed, emotion and stress, highlighting the warning signs of fatigue.And these data can help the trainers understand when, for example, the Ramy changes the corner of his arm and other movements.The data can also show the change over time, linked to increases or decrease in performance, which helps athletes to assess the effect of training and exercises.
Ultimately, the company reported that technology will reach the consumer level between 2022 and 2023, as it will cost more than an ordinary shirt, but less than the "Apple Watch" hour..It will also be fully based on clothes, because so far in the "Castle Tiles", the clothes contain a solid plastic and a small battery to transfer the data to an application on a smartphone.However, in the end, the devices that are part of smart clothes should be able to collect energy from the surrounding movement and the heat.
"We are looking for a cheerful material," says Sun..
